No news that I've heard, but anyone familiar with the animated G1 movie soundtrack should find this moderately amusing:

I thought it was a joke at first. Like someone posing as a member of the band pleading his case to do the music for this movie. Or worse, an actual member I suppose.

While we have been over this before..many times..orchestral>rock. If I hear AFI or some shit blaring from the trailer, or find out that Bumblebee miraculously communicates only in songs by similarly shitty bands on labels under the same corporate umbrella, I will skip the movie.

Iam sure theirs an extent to being bad music and being just terrible, I dont think AFI or any other group makes it!

The desighns from ILM make look a lil funny, but if anything bay has good taste in orchestra!

But th end credits might have like, Nickelback:Hero, and stuff like that.

You know, I've never even thought about that. I can assure you, I'm an actual member of the boards, NOT a member of the band, and after realizing it, just feel like a member..... WOW. I really am looking for music news.

That was the first thing that came to mind upon seeing that as well. ELL-OH-ELL.

As for music (I don't know how many times I've posted this), in a perfect world, I'd want to hear some really epic-like orchestral scores, to really make the battles seem intense. I really don't want to hear any rap/nu-metal/punk/whatever. If it's used to create realism (used for radios/etc.) that's fine, but seeing that used during action scenes would make the movie feel unbelievably cheesy and would totally wreck the experience for me...

Of course, I wouldn't be surprised to see such tracks used in the film, considering its status as your basic summer action flick, so I'll have to learn to stomach it.

I dunno. The original G1 movie as well as the original Highlander would lose much of their charm if they lost their rock soundtracks. Who can forget the soundtrack to Top Gun? After so long, the 80's pop rock soundtrack is one of the only things I still like about that movie. I don't care what genre the music is as long as each piece fits the scene it's used in and gives the movie some added character. Done right, orchestral scores can be grand, dramatic, and timeless. Not done right, they can be generic, uninspiring, and forgettable. They should do what feels right for the film, not blindly decide "we should use rock" or "we should use an orchestra" beforehand.

A band called "Lion" performed the TransFormers theme song for the 1986 movie. With that in mind, the information for the thread looked like "Music for the Movie, by Lion" or like the band Lion was asking about the music for the movie.

If I remember correctly, Cliff Jablonsky (Yablonsky?) directed the music for the teaser. If he's doing the music for the film, I'm satisfied. So long as it's no Hanz Zimmer churned-out garbage, like most of Bay's films.
